Aparently a little paint and a 1/2 yard of fabric is all a girl needs to lift her spirits. No wonder my husband is so confused about me at times. Ha!
Random sidenote, my baby, Creed will be 5 years old in January! My mind skipped to that topic because his newborn pictures were taken on the bench.
I cannot believe that was nearly 5 years ago. I’m seriously in shock.
I’ve had the bench for 7 years, and to be honest, I don’t think I have a good before picture that shows the entire thing. You win some, you lose some, right? The only picture I could find with even a glimpse of the bench is the one with the cute baby laying on it above. š
I love the spindly legs, and reupholstering a bench is easy peasy. I have a tutorial that walks you step by step through the entire bench upholstering process.
Doesn’t it look cute in my office!?! I’m kinda obsessed with this green/yellow color lately. It’s my fave.
In case you are wondering, the rug is from RUGSUSA. I bought it on one of their mega sales!
To transform the bench, into this cute little beauty, I mixed my favorite BB Frosch chalk powder and BEHR flat paint that I had tinted Sherwin Williams Frolic {6703}. I buy $3 samples paints in the paint department at the Home Depot, mix a little bit of powder in, and it turns into chalk paint! It’s awesome!
The fabric that I upholstered the bench with is a cute black and white pattern from Nate Berkus at Joann.
I waxed with the clear wax and a little dark wax along the edges to add a little dimension and age.
I just needed a little project. Sometimes BIG projects overtake things around here. I just needed a small project for a minute. I bet you can relate.
Have a great weekend, friends!

What paint color is on the walls?
Hi Shanna! The walls are Behr Dolphin Fin! I love the color!
How awesome is that little bench! Love the whole room, it looks like such a happy space. That couch has my heart. Where is it from? Thanks!
I’m cracking up! That first line pretty much sums it up for me! I love paint & it’s magical way it transforms things. š I so need to get you up here for a week to do some projects with me.
Have a great weekend Brooke!
Cute bench. I love all the color in the room!
I love the curtains! Where did you get those? Would love to get them for my home. Thanks – love your blog.
Hi Peggy! I got them from Target. Not sure if they carry them anymore. Good luck!
